Abstract

PURPOSE:To lessen manpower for a urine inspection by providing a card reader, automatic urine analyzing instrument, cassette for test paper, urine drawing stool, microcomputer, etc. CONSTITUTION:An examination number is read by the card reader 1-6-1 when the card of a person to be examined is inserted therein. The examination number is written into a memory 1-2 via a card reader input port 1-6. The test paper for the urine inspection is then pinched to the tip of the arm in a mechanism part by the signal from a mechanism part controller 1-5 and is moved to a prescribed position. The instruction for urination is lighted up by an inspection instruction display device 1-3-1 installed in the urine drawing room. The urination is detected by a fluid detector upon ending of the urination and a signal is sent. The controller 1-5 moves the test paper feeder table of the automatic urine analyzing instrument 1-4-1 upon receipt of the urination detection signal. The instrument 1-4-1 starts the analysis when the test paper for the urine inspection is set on the test paper feeder table. The result thereof is stored 1-2 via a sensor input-output port 1-4. The result of the analysis after the storage 1-2 is outputted to a printer 1-7-1, etc.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (b) Industrial application field The present invention finds use in the field of medical analysis.

The present invention focuses on the components of urine, that is, pH, protein, grapevine,
This invention relates to a device that automatically analyzes horizontal measurements of ketone bodies, bilirubin, warm blood, nitrite, urobilinogen, specific gravity, etc. without human intervention.

(b) Prior Art The processing sequence according to the conventional example will be explained as follows.

The patient collects urine into a urine collection tip with the patient's consultation number (or name written in some cases) and submits it to the clinical laboratory.

The medical examiner transfers the submitted urine sample to a test tube,
Dip the designated urine test strip into the test strip. and,
After setting the consultation number written on the urine collection tip on the urine autoanalyzer, place the urine test strip soaked in urine on the test strip feed table of the urine automatic analyzer, and press the start button. When you press , the feed table is automatically moved into the urine automatic analyzer, and any horizontally placed items are automatically analyzed.

The analysis results are output to a printer or online data collection processing device along with the consultation number. After analysis, the feed table returns to its original position.

After checking the VT results, discard the urine collection cup or test tube.
Urine collection tip and blueprinted urine horizontal test! ! Discard paper as waste. Also, test tubes need to be cleaned.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention As explained above, in the conventional example, filth
Transporting and disposing of medical equipment is not desirable for both patients and medical examiners. On the other hand, transcription (patient), settings, urine processing (
Inspectors) are time-consuming, so it is necessary to have an inspector. In addition, there are disadvantages such as transcription and setting errors, and the urine collection tip is a consumable item.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an all-white Φ-force urine analysis method that can eliminate physiologically undesirable handling of filth, data transcription, and mistakes during settings, and can save labor for the examiner. The purpose is to provide equipment.

(d) Fl! Means for Solving the IM Point The above purpose is to provide a card reader, an automatic urine analyzer, a test strip cassette for use therein, a urine collection toilet having a urine drainage conduit and a urine inflow detector, and a test strip sweeper. 1-1, which has a side part of the arm and a microcomputer, and after reading the consultation number with a card reader, the arm mechanism section takes out and holds one trial IHa from the cassette each time;
The test strip is inserted into the storage drainage pipe, dipped in urine, and placed on the designated table of the urine automatic dispensing trrT device, where the urine is automatically analyzed, and the results are stored in the computer memory along with the consultation number. This can be achieved by memorizing it.

(e) Effect The examinee only has to urinate into the toilet bowl, and the subsequent steps are executed by the microcomputer, and at that time, the control unit causes the arm mechanism to do what the examiner had previously done, and also performs the procedure that was previously done by the examiner. r result data is also collected at the same time.

(f) Example A preferred embodiment of the invention will be explained based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of this embodiment, in which a microprocessor 1-1, a memory 1-2 and an 8f
! Input/output ports 1-4.6.7.8 constitute a microcomputer.

The processing sequence according to the illustrated embodiment is performed as follows.

■ When the patient's card is inserted into the card reader 1-6-1, the patient's consultation number is automatically read and written into a predetermined area of the memory 1-2 via the card reader input port 1-6. .

■ When the card reading is completed, the rightmost urine test strip (see Figure 2) of the urine test sample (see Figure 3) is sent to the arm of the mechanism unit by a signal from the mechanism controller 1-5. Insert the test paper with the tip of the

■ Next, g, the test strip cassette moves one frame and stops, and the held test strips are pushed out.

- The arm of the mechanism moves along the floor drain conduit to a predetermined position and stops, as shown in FIG.

■ At the same time, the test instruction display 1-3-1 in the urine collection room
Please urinate accordingly. Display 1 is lit.

■ When urinating, a fluid detector installed in the floor drainage conduit detects that urination has occurred, and sends a signal to that effect to the Kibaku side controller. Then? Please urinate.

' will disappear.

■ Based on the urination detection signal, the controller lifts the arm of the mechanism part along the floor drainage conduit above its original position, changes the angle of the arm horizontally to the clockwise direction, and connects the automatic urine analyzer 1.
-4-1 Move the test strip so that it is placed on the feeder table.

■ When the urine test strips can be set on the test strip feeder table, the scissors at the end of the arm of the mechanism part will be released. In addition, the ICE of this scissor part is, for example, Deni! It is carried out by an inseparable stone.

(2) When test strips for urine testing are set on the test strip feeder table, the test strip figure automatically moves into the interior of the automatic urine analyzer and stops at a predetermined position.

(2) At the same time, the automatic urine analyzer starts analysis, and the results are stored in the memory 1-2 via the sensor input/output port 1-4.

0 At the same time as the analysis is completed, the test strip figurine returns to its original position and stops.

+! 2) The arm that was waiting picks up the analyzed urine test strip again, moves it to the basin, and releases it.

Then, it returns to the initial position so that the next measurement can be made.

■ The consultation number and analysis results stored in memory 1-2 are
The information is edited into a format compatible with the output device and output to the printer 1-7-1 or data collection processing unit (CPU) via the respective output ports.

■ When all data output is finished, card reader 1
The "Complete 1 lamp" at -6-1 lights up.

■ When the patient's card is removed from the card reader 1-6-1, the "R Completed" lamp goes out and the wash water flows through the floor drain conduit for a certain period of time and then stops.

By repeating the above steps, urine test results can be obtained without human intervention.

Note that the above steps 0, (2) and (2) are processed simultaneously.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the bottom of the urine collecting toilet is preferably formed in a tapered shape so that water does not accumulate in the floor toilet after cleaning. Furthermore, it is desirable that the floor drainage conduit be arranged at an angle as shown in the figure so that even a small amount of urine can soak the test strip.

(g) Effects The present invention automatically performs manual work on the floor, which is physiologically unfavorable, instead of human labor, which completely saves the inspector's labor and transcribes data. This has the effect of eliminating mistakes in settings, etc.
